Omega Mated To the Vampire King

The Vampire King

Chapter Three Blake

My destiny was to carry the coven to great success. I had only been on the throne for 5 measly years, and I was still trying to prove to everyone that I could do it. I was never born to be King, it was something that I had taken.

My family had always been frowned upon and treated as slaves. So from a young age I trained and prepared. Finally when I was ready I challenged the vampire king for the throne, and won. I married his Queen and became the new King. There were some that tried to challenge me for the throne, like one of the old King’s son’s, but none could beat me. Even without royal blood in me, I was the strongest vampire in the coven.

I let the old King’s son’s live, and told them they could stay as advisors and still hold the title of Prince since I married their mother, which they reluctantly agreed. The Queen never married the old King for love so she didn’t care about our marriage either. I don’t love her either, I just thought keeping her alive, and around would be a good way to still have some of the coven members listen to me.

There was a lot of backlash to me taking over the throne, but I made sure to take care of anyone who openly and loudly disagreed with me. I was considered one of the most brutal Kings to take the throne, which was something I revealed. I wanted them to fear me. After everything my family had been through, everyone deserved it.

What I didn’t expect was the hazel eyed, tan skinned, she wolf, that would come to my castle claiming I was her mate. I knew that wolves having a vampire mate was something that was suddenly happening now, but I never expected one to say that I was their mate. Whatever moronic bond she believed she was feeling there was no way that it was true. I could admit that she was beautiful, but that was it. There was no immediate need to be with her to love and protect, or whatever it is the mutts say they feel.

To be honest the idea of a mate bond has always felt idiotic to me. I could never imagine loving someone solely so much that you believed some Goddess brought you together. It felt like hopeless romantic stuff. I knew it was something the mutts strongly believe in and have done so for years, but all it seemed like was a liability to me. Having someone that you love so much they become the person that your enemies would use against you. Leverage over me is not something I’d want to give any of my enemies. Not that I don’t love my family. But I think deep down inside my parents and my sister know where they stand to me.

Weakness is not a good thing, no matter what form it takes.

I turned toward the bed and saw the human woman who had volunteered to be fed on still passed out. Usually humans are able to withstand the stress of being fed on but every once in a while I tend to take too much and they pass out. Today seemed to be that case. I wasn’t trying to harm her, it had just been a stressful week to begin with, and I wasn’t thinking too clearly. Still, the humans know the risks that are able to happen if they chose to be fed on. They don’t usually complain about it if they do pass out. The humans that we feed ohn are usually ones who are fascinated and enchanted by us. Not all humans believe in werewolves and vampires, and that’s how we tend to keep itt. Too many humans around would get bothersome. Either way it's just me and the Royal family that is allowed to feed on humans like this, even if others volunteer for the other vampires. The others only get blood bills. There are some coven’s that are okay with any rank of vampire on their oven drinking from humans but that was not something I wanted to enact when I took the throne.

The main things that I did for change when I took the throne was make sure that there were no coven members treated like vermin. My family used to be used as slaves and reprimanded like we were nothing for petty mistakes. Therefore I made sure that doesn’t happen to anyone else. I know that other members in the coven are thankful for that, and some really like that I am trying to keep us all together and working as one. However there are still those that believe I messed with a hierarchy that I do not understand. It is their loss to be so ignorant. And there is nothing they can do about it now.

The other thing I did keep similar to the last king was the way we interact with the wolves. We don’t

It was supposed to be creatures that we don’t bother ourselves with. I don’t want a war with them either, even if i despise them. A war would mean some of our people would most likely lose their lives, and that is not a price I want to pay at the moment. I want my people to see that I am still looking out for their best interest.

I was actually surprised that the she wolf and her friends made it this far into the castle to begin with, even though we said we wouldn’t mess with them, I’m sure there are some members that wouldn’t hesitate to attack wolves if they entered the castle. Maybe they were just entertained by how the girl looked walking into the castle like she knew what she was doing. Her hazel eyes were big and round, she probably looked clueless while walking around. I shook my head. I didn’t want to think about her anymore. I left the feeding room and headed out the door. This was not my usual chamber. This was simply the room that we feed in to keep the humans away from my actual chambers.

I made my way up the winding staircase to go toward the fourth floor where the bedrooms were. Vampire’s don’t need to sleep, but I did want to lay down to gather my thoughts. As I opened the door to my bedroom I saw her there sitting on the bed. She was brushing her long black hair with a golden brush that shined just as bright as the gold jewelry that hung on the neck of her porcelain skin. Her red eyes moved up to meet mine. She smiled lightly and put the brush down on the bed.

The Queen of the coven was truly a beautiful woman. She was one who did what she had to to survive and stay in power, and for that reason I respected her.

I walked toward her and she held out her hands. I picked it up in my hand, and gently kissed her hand. “Eveline, what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?”

She tilted her head softly. “There were wolves here I was told.”

“How did you know? It only happened about 5 minutes ago?” I asked.

She nodded, “News travels fast around here. But please tell me, why were there wolves in my castle?”

One of the things about Evelin that I did like, was that she never feared me. She instead saw herself as equal. Which is why she had no problem referring to it as her castle, instead of mine or ours.I knew she never loved the king, even a little, but I always wondered what her true feelings were toward me. She’s not that much older than me, even by vampire standards, in fact she was significantly younger than the old king, and was his third wife.

I could tell by the look on her face, even though it was still soft and subtle, that she was disturbed. Therefore it could only mean one thing. “I think you already know If news travels fast around here, they must have told you what happened.”

Her smile slightly brightened as she answered, “Yes, you’re right. I was just curious to hear it from your lips. I wanted to see what you would think about it all. A mutt. In love with you.” I could tell she wanted to snicker at how ridiculous it was but held back to wait for my response.

I rolled my eyes, “Please I don’t even want to think about it. How idiotic. The bond they claim they feel is nothing worth my time.”

She liked my answer.

She stood up from the bed, “Yes that’s true. It is funny though. The way she walked up in here thinking you’d accept her..” Eveline's eyes drifted off to the side, “I do wonder however, was she pretty?”

Her eyes went back to mine as she asked the question. I knew she wasn’t asking this because she was insecure, or anything of that nature. However, I think she just wanted to secure her spot here.

For that reason I decided not to worry her. So I amiled and said :Not as pretty as you that’s for sure.”

I could see Eveline was satisfied with my answer. She took a step closer to me, and said “Good” before leaning in and kissing my check. She leaned her lips closer to my ear and whispered, “Is there anything else I can do for you tonight?”

Though both of us understood that there was no love between us, we did at times share a night or two together. We didn’t want to take other lovers to not show a united front, therefore sleeping with each other was the only option. I pondered for a second I really did want to forget about that wolf. I held Eveline’s face in my hands and kissed the side of her lips, “Yes, I think there is.”
